EX-ARSENAL keeper Emiliano Viviano was nearly frozen solid in goal for Turkish side Fatih Karagumruk.
The 36-year-old shivered uncontrollably in the icy conditions as his side took on Super Lig high-flyers Konyaspor.
And the shakes ruined his chances of keeping a clean sheet as he let in an embarrassing FOUR goals.
Luckily for the Italian his opposite number Eray Birnican had an even worse afternoon between the sticks at Ataturk Stadium.
He conceded FIVE as Karagumruk ran out 5-4 winners in the Turkish Cup thriller.
Viviano spent the 2013-14 season on loan at the Emirates from Serie A outfit Palermo.
He arrived in North London having made six appearances for Italy back in 2010 and 2011.
His stay in N7 was initially a one-year loan with an option to buy.
